As a country, we have become complacent and greedy. So have our people. We have long enjoyed "The American Dream." People from other countries have sought their dreams by coming to America. Many have succeeded. Crime rates have grown. Some believe they shouldn't have to work to have the dream and they seek to rob others so that they might live in luxury.
I prefer to seek happiness in the simple things. God provides what I need when I need it. I walk in faith knowing He walks with me. He doesn't promise our path won't be strewn with rocks, or an occasional mountain, but He never abandons me.
Ecclesiastes 5:8-12 (New Living Translation, The Holy Bible)
"Don't be surprised if you see a poor person being oppressed by the powerful and if justice is being miscarried throughout the land. For eery official isunder orders from highter up, and matters of justice get lost in red tape and bureaucracy. Even the king milks the land for his own profit! Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth--except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers! People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night's sleep."
